I have been assured by people involved in law enforcement and M.B. techs alike that although not impossible, Mercedes Benz like W124s and W16s are indeed very difficult to steel.

The design of the key and the key drum at the ignition and doors is exclusive to Mercedes and makes it very hard to force.
